I tried to draw my money plant with Artrage app. Its not very healthy. I’ve made it look better in the drawing. I’m thinking of banishing it to the summerhouse. ##bandofsketchers prompt potted plant.
New paintings and regular art updates.

An old #bandofsketchers prompt I missed, I’ll make a bargain with you. Accept this as a bargain basement picture of abstract autumn leaves, and I can move on from this prompt!

Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was fashion. I’m at a loss with this so I just did a digital finger painting of a woman in a dress using my Artrage app. Then I used photodirector app to change the texture and background to make it more graphic.

Watching sky portrait artist of the year. I’ve done a finger painting of an editor called Vanessa Kingori, trouble is you don’t see the sitter for long so it’s a very sketchy drawing. Artrage app.
What are your favorite websites?

My favourite websites are art ones. A lot of them don’t have much in the way of tools. Often the drawing is already there and you just use a fill tool. They are boring. But I found a free app called Artrage oils which I used for several years till I got a new phone. Then I upgraded to Artrage which has a lot more tools, sketchbook app which has different tools and a few other ones that are good for editing, like photodirector. I now use them all in combination. It’s fun!
To the #bandofsketchers prompt blue. A blue made up face using Artrage app. Its not very exciting, I wasn’t sure what to do. Anyway it’s good to start catching up with the prompts, digital drawing,


Another #bandofsketchers catch up. Prompt was Halloween/Día de Los Muertos. I don’t know much about the day of the dead so I drew a cartoonish Dracula instead. Artrage app.

Another #bandofsketchers catch up. Prompt was vehicle. Digital drawing, in Artrage app. I’m up late because someone was in the garden. We rang the police and they are trying to catch them. Can’t sleep so drew a green car.

Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was trees. I’ve been snowed under with stuff so this is late. Such a lot of prompts to catch up with! I decided to draw a group of trees on my phone. It’s a bit of a misty winter scene. I think it needs more doing to it. But not tonight! Used my Artrage app.

When I get bored I doodle.
Usually faces either in profile or three quarter positions. But I’ve noticed they usually face left, and I thinks that because I’m right handed. I also draw cats and horses facing left too.
I think its because I’m right handed. I usually draw the edge of the face first, then the eyes and the mouth, and hair and the ear. If you draw across the page you can see what you have drawn without your hand getting in the way. I spoke to someone who is left handed and she draws faces facing right. I haven’t done any research but it would be interesting to find it hw prevalent this is….?
